The genre of mine and my groups opening is a psychological thriller, which means I had to look at industries who distributed psychological thrillers like 'The Sixth Sense', 'Signs' and 'Basic Instinct'.
Firstly, one main decision is to decide whether to get a well known distributor, like Warner Bros. Pictures, or a less well known distributor, like Film London Microwave. There are both advantages and disadvantages of using less well known and well known distributors. For example, it is cheaper to use less well known distributors, more well known distributors have distributed more films so have more experience, etc. As some people sometime see films because they like well known distributors, so we are going to go with a well known film institution because, on average, Warner Bros Pictures earns £845 million per film, while Film London Microwave earns £578.2 million per film.
Paramount Pictures have distributed many of psychology thrillers which have become very popular like, The Godfather (1972), Psycho (1960), Vertigo (1958) and Double Indemnity (1944). However, as you can see from the dates, these were films from years ago and Paramount Pictures haven't made new films in a long time, so I don't feel that this media Institution would be best for our film. 20th Century Fox, also distribute a lot of psychological thrillers like, Fight Club (1999), Dead Ringers (1988), The Silence of the Lambs (1991) and The Vanishing (1993). As you can see, these are more recent films, so more suitable for our thriller that it is set in the recent day.
